Joint Direct Attack Munitions

The Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) is a guidance kit that converts unguided bombs into precision-guided munitions, allowing them to be accurate in all types of weather. The JDAM system uses an integrated inertial guidance system and GPS receiver to guide the bomb, with a published range of up to 15 nautical miles. The system was developed jointly by the US Air Force and Navy, and has been produced in over 550,000 units as of January 2024. The JDAM was developed in response to the limitations of laser-guided bombs and imaging infrared technology, and has been used in various military operations, including Operation Allied Force.learn more on wikipedia
